I do have to admit I feel a bit stupid not knowing that PSU could have a built in filter. All my miners run off EVGA gold PSU's, mostly 1,300 and 1,000 watt units. I just looked them up on the EVGA site and all my PSU's have:

"Heavy-duty protections, including OVP (Over Voltage Protection), UVP (Under Voltage Protection), OCP (Over Current Protection), OPP (Over Power Protection), and SCP (Short Circuit Protection)"

So I guess having everything plugged into a surge protector is not really doing much. After doing some research on the double conversion UPS units you mentioned, it seems the only ones big enough to handle the type of wattage i am using will cost $2,000-$1,500.  Unfortunately i cannot afford to buy one of those for each circuit i am running my miners on Sad   Hell I would need one for each of the S7's i just bought, that's basically doubling the price of each miner, lol.

I do have a couple Monster MP HTS3600 MKII. I used those on my home theater gear, would they be of any benefit to mining? I really don't see how they would be any different for mining than a regular surge protector.
